AbstractBox notes: "1929 Naushon-- Family Beech Tree Climb; Florry aquaplaning; Mangasteen; nice harbor scenes." Four children swing on three rope swings handing from one branch of a large beech tree on Naushon Island. A male adult and several children of different ages climb in the branches of the large tree. "Florry" (Alexander's daughter Florence) using a large board to aquaplane behind a motorboat. The view is from the stern of the boat looking toward the child being pulled behind. Views of the island inlet beyond can be seen as the boat circles; finally she is bumped off. A boy in a kayak watches. Florry gets up on the board again and is passed by a large motorlaunch. A young boy tries aquaplaning behind the same boat.
